STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:
Let the second integer of the three integers = x
Therefore:
First integer of the three integers = x - 1
Third integer of the three integers = x + 1
First integer + Third integer = 26
( x - 1 ) + ( x + 1 ) = 26
2x = 26
x = 26 / 2
x = 13
FINAL ANSWER:
Hence, the second integer of the three consecutive integers is 13.
